Busted and McFly have added even more dates to their huge co-headline UK arena tour taking place in 2025.
With the tour announced during McFly’s 21st anniversary show at London’s O2 Arena last week – which Busted gatecrashed to deliver the news – demand for the shows has been huge.
Adding new dates in London, Manchester. Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool and Newcastle, the ultimate battle of the bands has now gotten a whole lot bigger.
Speaking of the tour, McFly have shared:
“Busted gatecrashed our show last night (not cool), and challenged us to a VS tour next year. They’re old men now, and we are gonna blow them and their carers off the stage next year. We’ve had a great time celebrating our 21st birthday this week and next year is going to be even better – P.S Busted Suck.”
Busted added:
“There’s been a lot of talk recently…. This is where the talking ends….! We are ready to show who is the better band once and for all. McFly suck and Busted Rock!“
